    Uncle Ole and Aunt Bertha were similar to the rich fool because they were too focused on material possessions and wealth, to the point where they neglected their spiritual beliefs and forgot about God. Their obsession with things overshadowed their faith, just like the rich fool who was preoccupied with storing up his wealth without considering the importance of his soul. The fact that they had a small old house is not relevant to their similarity with the rich fool.
